Found out September 1st that I was 4 weeks pregnant. But I lost it September 4th. Now after all the research I did and on the recommendation of my doctor, we kept trying this month. I took ovulation tests all month (the first response kit) and no positive ovulation. I'm very disappointed because now my body might be very out of whack. Maybe I'm being unreasonable to think I could even be one of those women who got another bfp almost right away but apparently not. Trying not to show the DH I'm kinda bummed. How long did it take any of you to get a positive ovulation after Mc?

Miscarried at 11 weeks at the end of May. Still waiting...

Are you using opk's?

Just cheap ones from Home Bargains! Had faint lines but no strong positive so I can't say with confidence that I've ovulated. No sign of a bfp which is so gutting when you're told that you're at your most fertile after miscarriage.

Oh, wildfire and butterfly how bloody awful for both of you Thanks

After my early miscarriage like yours, wildfire, I didn't ovulate for two cycles afterwards (BBT charting helped). 6 months later, I am currently 9 weeks and praying I don't jinx this little bean. I too hoped I'd be super fertile afterwards, but it was that hope that kept me motivated during the very very dark days.

You will both get your babies, it's just hard to know exactly when xxx

Yeah I tried to chart bbt but unfortunately, I'm a mouth breather since I have a deviated septum in my nose so they aren't very accurate and all over the place. And I'm really not comfortable charting my bbt through my anus lol. So I'm only keeping track of cm and using opk's which seems like a waste at the price those kits go for..

You don't need to use the thermometer up your anus Smile Most people check vaginally as yes, orally is unreliable. You place the thermometer about an inch in. I used to then doze off for a bit and when I'd next wake, take it out, I'd hold the button down and get the recorded temp. Easy! The thermometer got cleaned every morning Grin

It really is the only way to be sure what is going on with your cycle unless you have 21 day bloods done.

I found out I wasn't producing much oestrogen at the start of my cycle since the mc and therefore, ovulation was really late and progesterone was struggling to take over in the TWW. I tried Soy Isoflavones in August on CD2-6 to try and increase my oestrogen production and it brought forward my ovulation to CD14 (7 days earlier than the cycle before) and I got a sticky bean. I wouldn't have had this information if I wasn't charting so I think it was worth all those months of taking my temp xxx

I also used OneStep Internet OPKs (50 for about 3/4 pounds) and bought mini plastic shot glasses from Asda which saved so much money as after nearly trying for a year, I had spent too much money on sodding ClearBlue products Wink

Good Luck xx

I had a premature son who died in March 2013, I fell pregnant 6 weeks later and miscarried, fell pregnant 10 weeks after that and miscarried. Fell pregnant 6 months later and this ones stuck. I think with the 2 miscarriages my body wasn't ready. I pushed it really.

I downloaded an ovulation app and had sex around the days I was ovulating. I was trying with all of my first 3 pregnancies.

By the time this one came along I'd completely given up!

Good luck xxx

Meant to say at the beginning I'm so sorry for your loss xxx
